The focus of head lice elimination should be on the manual removal of all lice eggs and nits from the head. Remember lice are not living in the environment, they are living on you. Cleaning should be done initially after your first big nitpick and enzyme shampoo. It can be repeated every 4th to 5th day after follow up nitpicks and enzyme shampoos.

3 Easy Steps to Cleaning & Environmental Care

Head lice are not living in your home, on your furniture or in your bedding. They prefer to be on your head. The good news is a louse will die within 24 to 48 hours without a blood meal from you.

Here is how to clean your home or environment:

1. Place items that can safely be dried on high heat in a dryer for 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Vacuum items that cannot be dried
3. If an item can not be dried or vacuumed.  Set it aside for 24 to 48 hours.
